Donohue Looks Forward to Welcoming McCann to the Ticket

Ocean City, NJ, June 26, 2009, 4:30 p.m.:  Today the Republican County Chairmen of Cape May, Atlantic and Cumberland Counties were in possession of a single letter of intent from a candidate to replace our friend Frank Conrad on the ticket with Mike Donohue.  The Chairmen have announced that an official nominating convention will take place this Wednesday at the Old Historic Court House in Cape May County.  This process is a testament to our great democracy and the integrity of our political system.

“John McCann had my full support from the start,” Mike Donohue says.  “John’s reputation for hard work, loyalty and honesty is well deserved.  He possesses a rare combination of home-spun common sense and hard-won knowledge of the business and political worlds.  John is a great asset to this ticket, to our party and soon, to all the people of the First District.  I look forward to completing the statutory process to confirm John as my running mate.  We have important battles to fight on behalf of the people of South Jersey who yesterday got hit with yet another Corzine budget that raises their taxes and reduces their chances for prosperity.”
